EXAMPLE
“… Thus to his guest Aeneas lodgings went
This Heroë brave, mindfull of’s high intent
And of his promis’d aid. With no lesse care
Aeneas in the morning doth prepare.
With Pallas young the king associated,
Achates kinde Aeneas comitated.
Met, they shake hands, and down together sit,
And having time for talk, and leisure fit,
The king thus first began; Great prince of Troy,
I ne’re shall think (whiles thou dost life enjoy)
Troyes crowns and comforts to be brought to thrall …”
From: The XII Aeneids of Virgil, the Most Renowned Laureat-Prince of Latine-Poets
